Planning your Installation Plumbing Under no circumstances should the unit be connected directly to the mains cold water supply, or to a combination boiler, or pressurised hot water system. For correct operation of the NewTeam 1500-XT power shower, both hot and cold water supplies must be gravity fed, at nominally equal pressures, from a cold water storage tank, and a hot water storage cylinder. We recommend a minimum of 115 litres (25 gallon actual) of cold water supplied by a storage tank. Please ensure compliance with all Water Regulations. Under no circumstances must the Power Shower be connected to the mains cold water supply. Please ensure maximum supply head of 10 metres, minimum 1 metre. It is recommended that the hot water supply is at a temperature of 60ºC, in line with British Standard 6700, British Water Regulations, and Plumbing Code of Practice. Do not use jointing compounds when connecting, and do not solder within 300mm of the unit. 60mm 1m Minimum Before proceeding with the installation of this unit, check that your site requirements allow the handset to be a minimum of 1 metre below the bottom of the cold water storage tank to allow the 1500-XT to also operate on gravity. Fig. 1 Gravity Power Shower Installation Electrics WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All electrical wiring for the shower must comply with the current I.E.E Regulations which includes earth-cross bonding to all metal pipework. IMPORTANT: All plumbing should be completed before final electrical connections are made. The shower must be connected to a 230/240 volt A.C electrical supply from a 13-amp ring main, via a fused double pole switch with at least 3mm contact separation. The switch is to be clearly identifiable, a minimum distance of 2.5m from a fixed tap or shower, i.e. mounted in an adjacent room or via a ceiling-type pull cord switch. The unit should be fused at no more than 3 amps. This appliance must be earthed, and all associated metal pipework earth crossbonded in line with current I.E.E regulations. As the colours of the wires in the cable (not supplied) used to connect to this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your switch, please follow the procedure below: Please use the cable entry point provided. Failure to comply will eliminate any BEAB approval. Procedure: The wire, which is coloured Blue or Black, must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N. The wire, which is coloured Brown or Red, must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L. The wire which is coloured Yellow/Green must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the earth symbol. The installation and wiring must comply with I.E.E regulations. 3 NEWTEAM 1500-XT
Fitting your Shower General In addition to the recommendation on `Planning your Installation please take note of the following: All plumbing should be completed before any electrical connections are undertaken. The unit can be connected to a combination cylinder system providing it has a cold water storage capacity of 115 litres (25 gallons actual). 1m Minimum When connecting pipework avoid using elbows: sweep or formed bends will ensure optimum performance. Do not solder within 300mm of the unit. Do not run pump dry this will damage the internal seal and invalidate the warranty. All pipework to and from the unit should be a minimum of 15mm. Non-restrictive isolating valves must be fitted on hot and cold supply pipes. Do not position unit in areas subjected to freezing conditions. The temperature of your stored water must not exceed 65ºC. A stored water temperature of 60ºC is considered sufficient to meet all normal requirements in line with the British Standard 6700. WARNING ALL CONNECTING PIPEWORK SHOULD BE EARTHED Procedure - Plumbing Connections: Fig 1. 1. Isolate mains water and electrical supplies. 2. To empty the pipework open the hot and cold water taps. 3. Make your connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder, ensuring that it is the first draw-off (below the expansion pipe tee) to minimise the effects of water draw offs elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre from the base of the cold storage tank and the expansion tee. 4. If this is not possible, a direct connection must be made from the hot water cylinder with a cylinder flange, Fig 2. Fig 2 - Cylinder Flange 5. The cold water supply should be taken directly from the cold storage tank, and must be positioned 60mm below the cold feed connection to the hot water cylinder. This should not be directly beneath the ball valve as aeration of the water going to the shower could cause pump damage. 6. Run hot and cold pipework to the unit position. The Unit We recommend that the unit is fitted at chest height, and set to one side of the intended riser rail position, ensuring that the top of the unit is at least 75mm below the base of the cold water tank. IMPORTANT: The unit must be fitted on the finished tiled surface. Do not seal the edge of the unit to the tiled surface with any sealant, as the gap below the back of the unit and the tiles is needed for ventilation. The outlet connection must be positioned at the bottom of the unit. NEWTEAM 1500-XT 4
Fitting your Shower Water/Electrical Connections WARNING: Do not fit fuse or switch on mains electrical supply until all plumbing work is completed. Connecting pipework can feed from above or below the unit, or straight through the wall at nominal centres of 40mm. Top Feed = Hot on the right /cold on the left Bottom Feed = Hot on the left/cold on the right Cold Hot Back Feed = Hot on the bottom/cold on the top Procedure: The integral fittings on the valve are of the self-seal push-fit type. All burrs and rough edges must be removed from the end of the tube. Where chrome plated tube is used, roughen or remove the first 25mm of plating Fig 3 - Fixing points - 1500-XT The inlet elbows supplied are of a standard length, in some cases these will need to be shortened for correct installation. Removal of Front Cover and Control Knobs Please note that this product comes packaged with the front cover and control knobs already in place. These have to be removed to install the shower. Please follow the procedure below (Fig 5): Collet Fig 4 - Push fit fittings. 1. Pull off control knob (1). 2. To remove the graphic ring (2) which surrounds the main control knob, insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the recess marked (3). gently prise off the ring, revealing 2 fixing screws. 3. Remove lower logo (4) by inserting a thin bladed screwdriver in the slot, to reveal the lower fixing screw. 4. Remove all 3 fixing screws (5). The cover can now be slowly removed - care should be taken no to strain wiring which is attached to the front cover. 5. This procedure can be reversed to replace the front cover and control knobs after installation to the wall. 1 2 5 3 3 3 5 4 5 Fig 5 - Removal of front cover. 5 NEWTEAM 1500-XT
Fitting your Shower Surface Mounting 1) If exposed pipework is the option chosen, the pipes enter the unit on the right hand side with the cold at the top. The pipe centres are 40 mm apart, and need to penetrate the mixer valve connections by a minimum of 22mm. 2) Position the unit on the wall and mark the fixing hole positions. Drill the wall, insert the wall plugs supplied, and secure the unit to the wall. Make the necessary measurements, remove the unit from the wall, and bring the pipework and wiring to finished positions. 3) Make the hot water connection into the hot water supply pipe from the cylinder, ensuring that it is the first draw off (below the expansion tee), to minimise the effects of water drawn off elsewhere in the house, and a minimum of 1 metre below the base of the cold water storage tank. If connection to the hot water supply pipe is not possible, a cylinder flange type connection may be used as illustrated (Fig.2 Cylinder connection flange) 4) Make the cold water connection into the base of the cold water storage tank, 60mm below the level of the cold water take off to the hot water cylinder. 5) Flush out the pipework Inlet elbows 6) Detach the pipe entry grommet and, using a sharp knife or similar, remove the centre (15mm dia.) portions, and refit the grommet. 7) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully inserted into the mixer valve push fit connections, and fix the unit to the wall. 8) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit. 40mm Fig 6-1500-XT Recessed Fitting Pipework 1) If the pipework is to be recessed, it should be let into the wall with the ends of the hot and cold pipes standing 40mm off the finished surface of the wall, and centres 40mm apart, with the cold above the hot. Connections to the hot and cold water supplies should be made as described above, knocking out inlet holes in rear of unit. 2) Position the unit on the wall with the inlet pipes centred in the holes in the rear of the base moulding, mark the fixing screw positions on the wall and remove the unit. 3) Drill the fixing screw holes and insert the wall plugs supplied. 4) Cut the plastic inlet elbows supplied to 40mm long from the centre of the elbow as illustrated (Fig 6), and remove any burrs from the cut end. Fit the cut inlet elbows into the push-fit connectors on the shower mixer valve. 5) Flush out the pipework. 6) Fit the shower unit over the pipework, and insert the mains wiring through the aperture at the top of the base moulding. Ensure that the supply pipes are fully inserted into the inlet elbow push fit connections, and fix the unit to the wall using the fixing screws supplied. 7) Connect the wiring in line with the polarity indications moulded into the base unit.

Fitting the Riser Rail Spirit Rail Kit Before proceeding with fitting the rail, identify each of the items supplied using the illustration. The slider need not be removed from the rail during fitting. The top of the slider has a smooth profile, whereas the underside has a recess revealing the grooves on the handset holder. No Part Description 1 Rail end cap 2 Spirit level 3-4 Rail with slider attached 5 Soap Dish 6 Screw cap 7 Soap dish fixing screw Rail fixing screws & wall plugs Fit the soap dish onto the bottom end of the rail and secure using the small screw from the kit. Position the rail on the wall, bearing in mind the heights of people likely to use the shower, and the length of the hose when connected to the shower and passed through the retaining hole in the soap dish. Mark the wall to indicate the upper fixing screw position. Screw centres are 605 mm (approx. 23 - inches,) apart. Drill the wall at the marked fixing position using a 6 mm drill, and loosely fix the rail end, checking that the rail is hanging vertically using the spirit level incorporated into the top end of the rail. The bubble should be exactly between the two lines on the spirit level body. Mark the position for the lower fixing screw, move the rail to one side, drill the wall, and fix the lower end of the rail. Check that the rail is vertical and tighten both fixing screws. Slide the end cap into position on the top end of the rail, and fit the screw cover into the recess in the soap dish. When fitting the hose, it should pass through the larger hole of the soap dish. Fig 7 - Riser Rail NOTE: The hose nut, and not the handset handle, fits into the slider, and the slider moves more freely on the rail if gripped next to the rail, rather than at the handset. 7 NEWTEAM 1500-XT
Commissioning Commissioning 1) Connect the shower hose without the handset to the outlet from the unit. 2) Turn on the hot and cold water isolating valves, and the electricity-isolating switch, and place the open end of the shower hose in the shower tray or bath. 3) Set the temperature control knob to cold, fully clockwise, and press the Stop/Start button. 4) Cold water will flow from the hose, and this should be allowed to continue for 2 minutes, after which time the control knob may be turned to the 12 o clock position. Allow the water to run for a few minutes to stabilise the hot water flow, and then check that the water is at a comfortable showering temperature. 5) If it is too hot or too cold, turn off the electricity-isolating switch, pull off the control knob,and adjust the brass spindle anti-clockwise to increase the temperature - clockwise to decrease. Replace the knob in the 12 o clock position, switch the electricity on, and check the water temperature. Readjust as necessary until a satisfactory temperature is achieved. 6) Pass the shower hose through the hole in the soap dish and, using the rubber sealing washer supplied, fit the showerhead to the hose and place the showerhead in the handset holder. 7) Press the Stop/Start button. Water flows from the shower head under the gravity pressure from the storage tank. Press the Shower Boost button and the pump starts, boosting the shower pressure. Temperature Adjustment The valve allows the maximum showering temperature to be set at a safe level, preventing accidental scalding. This setting should be made during commissioning and will require that the hot water cylinder is at its normal operating temperature. Stop/Start Button IMPORTANT: The handset must be in the spray mode. Temperature Control We recommend the reading of User Instructions before proceeding further. This will familiarise you with the operation of the shower. Shower Boost Button Procedure: Turn the brass mixer valve spindle fully clockwise, and then anti-clockwise until the black line on the spindle is aligned with the groove on the mixer body, and fit the control knob in the fully cold position. Check that it is correctly fitted by turning fully clockwise to the stop, pull the knob off and check that the black line and groove are aligned. Adjust if necessary. This sets the shower temperature to 38-40ºC, with the control knob pointing to 12 o clock, if the hot water is at the recommended 60ºC. Fig 8 - NT 1500-XT Power Shower NEWTEAM 1500-XT 8
User Instructions NewTeam 1500-XT 1) To operate the shower, turn the control knob to the vertical - 12 o clock position, and press the Stop/Start button. 2) Adjust the shower temperature by turning the knob anti-clockwise - towards red, for warmer temperature, and clockwise - blue, for cooler. 3) Setting the knob in the same position in future will give the same showering temperature.
